  • Where is Walden?

Walden Pond is a mile or so south-west of the town of Concord, Massachusetts, USA.  It is about 20 miles north-east from Boston.   Thoreau describes the pond very beautifully in the book.  You can see an aerial picture of the pond here if you have Google Earth.

There are many pictures of Walden available on-line - a search under "Walden Pond" at Google Images produces good results.

There is a panoramic image here.
